Sorry. Since you're creating PDFs then my guess was you have some 
non-VMS systems but maybe not Windows. Just saying that there are 
Windows (and maybe Apple and maybe *nix) apps that do file conversion, 
but that's not my world.

If you need to print a form with barcodes, then the easiest way is to 
use the printer's barcode fonts. I haven't met a Xerox business-class 
laser printer in the past 20+ years that didn't have the ability to use 
barcode fonts either natively or as an add-on.

I think my first question was relevant:
"Is your primary goal to print PDF's or to print barcodes?"
